Yuyuantan Park

This is a huge park, with a very big and nice lake in the middle, worth a walk through if you have around 2 hours free. Possibly do it if you have a couple hours spare before catching a train from the West railway station. Bear in mind that there is a river running on the South side of the park which is not easy to cross. There is however one bridge which crosses it and leads directly to the park entrance. There is a small charge for the park, but only about 5 rmb. The Cherry Blossom Festival is celebrated in Yuyuantan Park in spring (from late March to the end of April) every year. Yuyuantan Park is one of the best places to see flowers in Beijing. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #easylife
